All these armaments are the brainchild of PW. Nobody gives PW any credit - but they are all making money from his inventions. As Minister of Defence - no one to rival PW. Started with 2nd WW equipment - sanctions & ended up with world beaters.
What I always miss in movies about combat vehicles is the most important thing. The driver. It's always about the guns, but the driver is always forgotten in the cutscenes. Without a driver, every tank is a sitting duck.
i love how southafrica made their own weapons to meet their needs since they have alot of embargos. and most of their weapon systems are the best in their class.
We developed our MLR's based on captured BM21's and ammunition. The Rooi Oog (RedEye) was not very popular with SADF soldiers on the receiving end. Seeing these in action was both awesome and awful.
Great information, South Africa could have employed so many people in the defense industry, much like the Americans do, but the Yankee pulled the plug on us, we could employ our people and supply great jobs for our South African people...
Why do people think that just because there are visual similarities that means western systems must always be copies of Soviet sytems? 1) West Germany had an identical system in use before the BM-21. The US used similar systems as far back as 1944. 2) Engineering problems often need the same solutions regardless of who is doing the designing, so identical parallel development is very common; that doesn't mean somebody had to have copied anybody else. 3) It is actually well documented proven fact that many Soviet/Russian and Chinese weapon systems are copies of western systems, since they have generally lagged behind the West in R&D, but not in espionage.
@@mikearmstrong8483 Because SADF captured the systems during Operation Savannah in Angola in 1976, copied them and improved them - even if it did not origin from where....who do you think invented the MLRS in WW2? (Soviet BM-13 Katyusha) Also you think we designed the G5???? Go read up about Dr Gerald Bull and his legacy.

South African MLRS are *very* overlooked, thank you for making a video on them.
I was a Valkiri Bombardier. Thanks for this video
Everybody is fascinated by South African weapons. I read all the books and the birder war really needs a movie

Boeritje boys were very industrious and innovative
My dad used to operate on them

Interesting 🤔, Thanks
Great video
Another good video. But, even though I like the South African systems so much, let's accept that the real legend is the BM-21 Grad.

LETS GO!!!
Great video as always. Any plans on making a video on HIMARS?
Thanks for your interest. Actually, we have, but sadly our viewers do not prefer the U.S. systems.
Is it possible to make a video about the T5-52
That thing seems like a beast, easily within the top 5 but there’s not much information on it
👍👍
Muito legal 😎!
Correct on the rockets not being produced anymore
The Bateleur was not the predecessor of Valkyrie
So In 1992 was r8000 rand a rocket well just imagine how much a "ripple" would cost today ha ha crazy man
Can you do a video on pinaka mlrs?
Hi weapon detective can you Made conten about military equipment from PLA like type 99 MBT,ZBD 05, etc.
Current SANDF wouldn’t know what to do with them!
Based on Soviet BM-21 Grad

You wonder why don't put finances in defence manufacturing and make money from parts of the world
The idiots operating it, could not hit a rugby field!
Operating it now.
Battle of Bangui?
ruined when handed over to the corrupt incompetent anc
I would have like to go to South Africa when Whites ruled.
The voice is very annoying.
Thank you!!! ^^
There was a time when i was very proud about the SADF. Since it became the SANDF its declining is just plausible.
🤓
So i assume you are in the SANDF?? If not then i suggest you stay quite
Another white saying Apartheid was better
@@thetad1242 ask which nations army never did that
@@thetad1242you're not very bright are you. The very fact you fall for Marxist propaganda is evidence of your dullness.
You're starting me make me homesick now, pre 1994, that is.
Gaijin please
Actually the Valkyrie was the predecessor of the Bateleur
